- Kirby is great... AND THIS ONE IS INCREDIBLE!
Although probably not the greatest Kirby game ever, this is definitely the best handheld Kirby out there.

Kirby Canvas Curse has Kirby regularly doing his thing in Dreamland, when an evil sorceress appears out of the sky. She waves her magical paintbrush, and the world turns to paint! Kirby gives chase, but the sorceress turns him into a ball! Helpless, Kirby lies on the ground and sees the magical paintbrush. Then, it transports to you on a ray of light! (also known as your stylus)

This game is probably the only Kirby game with a good story (I haven't played any of the classics so I don't quite know). You play with Kirby as a ball. You can touch Kirby to make him dash forward and attack or just go faster, and you use your stylus to draw lines for him to ride. There are 6 main levels each with 3 smaller levels within, which each have 3 stages. Once you clear one level, you can go on to the next and the next, until you reach level 7 after facing a few boss challenges along the way. Here you see "The World of Drawcia". Here, you go through two stages. Once through, you see a very strange mirror. Once you enter, you are put in fierce battle with Drawcia Sorceress! I won't elaborate further.

In each stage of each mini level of each level, you can find a Medal. There are 250 levels to hunt for and collect. However, most of the medals are NOT found in the stages. They are found-no, earned-in something called Rainbow Run. Here, after you have completed a LEVEL, you will find these mini levels again. However, you will be trying to either finish a certain stage as fast as possible, or will be trying to use as little ink for lines as possible. I have currently beaten the game (minus 3 medals) and now find Rainbow Road the only thing that is very satisfying.

These medals can be traded for prizes inside "Medal Swap". Here you can get things from new courses in Rainbow Road to new characters! These new characters you must use in order to completely beat the game. Once you beat the game with all 5 characters and have gotten all the medals, you will have beaten Kirby Canvas Curse!

This is a game that needs to be in every gamer's library of games. This one is just too good to pass up. I give it 5 stars out of honest. That is what I think! I'm not just over doing the star button here, I MEAN IT!! If you don't get it, sorry for you. If you do get it, get ready for one of the greatest games on the hand held market! Your friend in gaming,

- Brilliant. Just brilliant.
Kirby: Canvas Curse is sort of a spiritual sequel to a DS showcase game called Yoshi: Touch & Go, in that they both use nothing but the touchscreen to control the game. I've never played Yoshi: Touch & Go, but the concensus was while it worked well, the game lacked substance.

Well, Kirby: Canvas Curse doesn't. It is a full-fledged platformer worthy of the purchase price, and the unique control scheme seals the deal. I had my doubts about how well the game would be able to interpret what I draw on the touchscreen, but it really does work splendidly -- just the way I imagined it would work.

Five stars, two thumbs up, etc. Now if only I could figure out why the game is out of production...buy one while you still can.

- Alot of great stylus usage for this game!!
I am an adult gamer...I haven't really played the previous Kirby games on the GBA but I am familiar with Kirby in general so I got myself Kirby Canvas Curse and was skeptical.

Boy was I wrong! It's an excellent game! You really do use the stylus ALLL the time! I love it! It took me about 3 weeks to beat the game...almost. I've beat it 99.7 percent. I just needed one more medal at the cart run part to be 100 percent complete but the cart run is almost impossible for me to win so I've settled on 99.7 percent since I won everything else.

The game is sure alot of fun with alot of variety of things to do. There's a regular game where you try to get all the medals in all the levels. Then there is another set of game where you have to hurry to beat the time to get medals and another to use less ink as possible to get medals. Such fun! It's not that easy nor too hard. There are some levels where you have to keep trying over and over but I had fun trying.

Now that I've beat it, I've moved onto Kirby Squeak Squad and I feel weird. It's totally different. Kirby Squeak Squad has no stylus use at all which I wasn't used to after Kirby Canvas Curse but after understanding the game and playing a bit I got into it and am loving it as well.

Kirby Canvas Curse and Kirby Squeak Squad are both excellent games in their own right. Hope they come out with more Kirby games in the future.

- What a fun game !
If you like to play games, and you like to draw, this is the game for you. You guide kirby around and protect him using your stylus (the little pen in the back of the nintendo ds). Draw circles around him to protect him, draw bridges for him to roll over, and attack enimies by tapping on them! Hours of fun in this little game. I love it! You can never get board with kirby!
